Sewing, Fashion, Sustainability
Located in Alameda, we bring together sewing, fashion, and sustainability to spark creativity, build community, and celebrate the joy of making, through expert instruction and hands-on learning.
At the Sewing Room, we have everything you need to get sewing! From sewing machines, large cutting tables, scissors, measuring tapes, and plenty of seam rippers! The use of our machines and tools is included in the price of our classes and camps.
If you have never sewn before, our Machine Basics Class is the the best place to start. That class teaches you basic machine operations gets you started sewing. It’s 1 1/2 hours long and we offer it several times a week.
Beginning students should follow up with an Intro-to-Sewing class. We've created a series of 2-class workshops where you will apply the skills you learned in Machine Basics. Materials Included!
For those who are familiar with sewing and patterns & are ready to embark on a regular sewing practice, need support on a specific project or want to join a community of like minded stitchers we offer Weekday & Weekend Studio Classes with expert instructors.
Looking to expand your craft? Our Specialty Classes offer embroidery, quilting, hat making, pattern grading and more — fun, creative hobbies that complement your sewing practice and open up new artistic possibilities.
For focused, personalized instruction, book a Private Lesson. Whether you’re a budding designer, a fashion student, or an advanced sewing enthusiast, our one-on-one sessions help you sharpen specific skills and reach your goals faster.
